Far Away
By Caryl Churchill
Directed by Meredith G. Healy

Ever since Joan’s childhood, she has witnessed people doing horrific things in the name of doing what is “right.” Caryl Churchill’s Far Away examines what happens in a world when no one, not even the cats and the rivers, can be trusted.

Far Away is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Dutchman
By LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka
Directed by Josh Turner

Traveling on the city subway, everything seems innocent in the conversation between Clay and Lula, but things quickly escalate. Dutchman, by Amiri Baraka, a highly influential and provocative storyteller of the Black experience, examines the damage to and silence of the Black community — a cycle we seem doomed to repeat.

Tom & Eliza
By Celine Song
Directed by Kayla Adams
